On monday 2

On Monday, 1/4 of the workers were absent. On Tuesday, only 1/6 of the workers were absent. If 12 more workers were absent on Monday than on Tuesday, how many workers are there altogether?

Correct answer:

x =  144

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{4}=\frac{x}{6}+12 \\ x/4=x/6+12 \\ x=144 \\ x=\frac{144}{1}=144 \\ x=144 \end{gathered}$$
